Great work!

Nice you are moving along .

Good luck with your new railroad, buddy!!

looking great

You made lots of progress, why no switch's going from loop to loop? I think I saw on your plan its 4 independent loops so trains can change tracks.

Great Progress!

How do you reach the back?

So do you watch a T.V. that still has a tube then? That kind of logic is what will hurt the hobby more. If all we buy is the old post war stuff that we all seen many times before, what's the use of innovating new exciting features like whistle steam and a swinging bell? I grew up with MPC Lionel and today all I own is modern legacy stuff most of the time it can be repaired. I love it!

Fully agree with your comments, especially around vendors and their pricing. Granted I haven’t gone to York, but seems most shows people think they have gold. I’m a part of couple live sale groups, where I love Train town St Louis, but have now moved away from NYET (who I know goes to York). NYET has same “gold” mindset, and after watching a few they don’t sell as much (also not a fan of owner). Thanks for posting this!

great progress

Keep plugging away !

I liked the bridge in the back, against the wall. Do the plans include a second tier again, with trestles coming down the sides to level one in the front? -->Ric

is that the same model Lionel Superchief train that I once saw on an episode of I love Lucy?

AWESSME LAYOUT1

I don’t think the cost of the hobby is the problem so much as the buy-in cost it requires before you even know if you are going to like the hobby. For $100-$150 or so, you can buy enough heavily used O scale equipment to put a circle under the tree… but that probably isn’t enough to give you a feel for how much you would enjoy trains as an actual hobby. By the time you have built a table, added switches, a few buildings, a grass mat, basic scenery, signs, people and some extra track you are in it for $500-$1,000 easily. That is a steep figure to spend on yourself if you don’t end up liking it… that is an enormous amount to spend on a kid if it does not hold their attention.

Muffins got kicked out and permanently banned from York.

That's the fun of the hobby I've rebuilt mine a couple of times myself were never happy happy railroading !! Thanks for sharing your videos look forward to more happy holidays !!!

hello sir ..im from sri lanka... my son is very very like and love train...

Very cool i love it alot

I remember when you did you last rebuild. I can’t wait to watch your progress Keith! I will also be rebuilding my layout from scratch. Nice update! (Frank)

You're so misinformed and spreading lies without even doing some real research, first of all Lionel or any manufacture for that matter offers 1 year warranty for any of their recently purchased items and 2 years for Lionel's Visionline products (90 days 😂) stop it. And no engine purchased for $1500 is going to sell for $600 once you open it and run for a bit and have buyers remorse, come on....... 🤦‍♂️. I'll still get over $1000 easy! Just stick to your old stuff we will stick to our newer stuff.

Wasn’t this just updated last year, or am I thinking about another?

I have the same set (and it whistles too!) Such a lovely train on the layout--sleek, smooth, and lots of action. Good for you! Enjoy and thanks for posting!

Thank You for the update. Hope you have an awesome week👍🔥🙏💪❤️🇺🇸

I had a very similar experience but in reverse in terms of the pricing. My greatest deals happened at the Wyndham Gardens bandit show. Granted, I am looking for MPC, Fun Diensions and LTI and was very pleased with the price I payed for my items. Postwar prices ranged greatly, and it seems like many vendors believe the year is 1994, not 2024. Many postwar prices were WAY outside the pricing ballpark that the trains are selling for.

How do you reach the trains on the wall shelves?

Very Interesting. I will definitely be watching.

After a long hiatus, I'm back in the hobby. I'd really like to make it to fall York next year. It seems a lot of the younger hobbyists (in their 20s-30s, like myself) do most of our shopping and interaction online. But there's something special about attending a big train show or going to your local hobby shop - even though both of those things seem to be disappearing. Great video, though!

I’ve often considered coming to York, it would involve travelling from Europe to do so, watching this video makes me wonder if just visiting regional shows might work better for me.

You make several great points. I used to say “who buys these $1500-$3000+ trains?” It’s all these you tubers that review the Lionel catalog and buy $15,000-$20,000 worth of trains, NOBODY can afford that! I feel that this causes resentment, every week a you tuber comes out with Lionel set costing $5000+, meanwhile a train show once a year to MAYBE buy a $500 train is an EVENT

Great Video. Thank you.

You said the truth 100%. I can not see this sustaining the “high dollar collector” mentality. The mega dollar stuff is just something I walk past. Only interested in post/pre war Lionel at reasonable prices from private individuals at reasonable cost. Modern, china plastic junk, stuff in boxes, high dollar scale, and anything not Lionel USA made is of no interest. Even ebay is out in left field with it’s prices and inflated shipping costs. I’m getting to the point of not going to shows and screening out anything on ebay over $100 or over $15 shipping assuming it’s bigger or heavier. Your post war video’s is among the best on internet.😊 I like your custom creations. All my diesels are custom. I don’t collect I just play.

Nice 👍👍

Perfect combination!

York pirate meets and the Round the Clock diner. I was at the diner, i ask the waitress, what are your hours, she looked at me and said cant you read Round the Clock. Bandit meets, that may be more accurate.

I sure be plenty good liking to SUB if you do more than just runs.

Thank you for your very nice presentation and commentary. So true. The Choo-Choo Barn's display is a fantastic idea. And I hope it generates steam for a new generation.

Dynamite 👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂

Wow learn something every day good info👍👍👍👍👍

👍👍👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂

Pretty nice set. Looks like it still has the original porthole windows. I got 2 freight sets like this. Then I ebayed the same set of passenger cars to run with them. I really enjoy them. They look great on the shelf also. Ken

Very cool! You just can't beat the 2343 ABA sets. Still my favorite. An excellent video, as always.

Great video and comments. I hate to say it but I agree 100% with what your saying..

I love The Choo Choo Barn Mobile Experience truck idea

I got to be honest there trying to get kids into trains but ,we cant afford the trains. They say menards is cheap i cant afford a 250.00 300.00 menards set after tax to buy for my child.

I was turned off from that show years ago as theres was all kinds of rules and the ticket process was really goofy like. Hey i wana just buy a fucken ticket at the door and walk in if not fuck you.

Every time I look at three rail it seems to get worse.Definately a dying part of the hobby

I don’t go to the shows, because I won’t be able to afford to buy anything. Extra spending money for my toys just isn’t in the family budget. I just enjoy what I was able to buy years ago.

Because of inflation, the young can`t afford such hobby's same as I.
